Now I am starting the task of defining local terminals in non-SNA controllers to VTAM. I have a couple questions...things I'm fuzzy on that maybe you all could clarify for me. (1) Concerning the system connection block at the lower left of the screen, I was under the impression that the little block there (beside the square-4 and the little-A) would contain a little stick-figure man while in VTAM. Even when I direct attach a terminal to the VTAM machine, this block remains filled in, which I took to mean "terminal is connected to your job" (from 3278 Display Station Problem Determination Guide, GA27-2839-6, which came with the terminal). (2) I would like to customize in my USSTAB message 10 so I can design a logo screen. I thought that I was doing this right, but nothing ever displays. I have this in my VTAMUSER LOADLIB, the LOADLIB is globalled, the USSTAB= parameter of the LOCAL MACRO for the terminal points to the table...but still no message 10. So I might be missing something. Any ideas? (3) I couldn't find any documentation that told me what to expect while operating in VTAM mode. I've discovered SYS REQ and can LOGON APPLID(VM) and LOGOFF APPLID(VM) and so forth, but if there's a document that explains what-does-what here, I'd like to see it. Thanks for your help. I realize these are trivial for the experienced ones, but a little help goes a long way for me. Have a good day.
